The battle had entered a bizarre state. Flathead had actually bitten down on Su Xiao's blade and refused to let go, curling its body into a ball.

Su Xiao began trying to kill Flathead on the blade. First, he slashed it against a hard object, but for some reason, Flathead remained completely unharmed. It was probably because of its teeth, which were sharp enough to bite through Counter Shield. Since its teeth had clamped onto Dragon Slayer Flash and it was using its body to disperse the force, the blade couldn't strike Flathead directly.

After discovering that slashing was ineffective, Su Xiao tried burning it.

After using three incendiary bombs, Su Xiao found that the black Exoskeleton covering Flathead seemed to have heat-insulating properties. Burning it was ineffective as well.

After trying several methods in succession, Su Xiao grew helpless. He couldn't lower his guard now. Who knew whether Flathead would release Dragon Slayer Flash and bite straight into his throat?

Could he just let Flathead keep biting it? That wouldn't work either. Su Xiao couldn't use the blade to slash enemies now; he could only smash them with Flathead. Dragon Slayer Flash had already become a hammer, with Flathead as the hammerhead.

Besides, during an intense battle, it would be troublesome if Flathead suddenly let go and attacked Su Xiao.

"Let go. Let's fight to the death."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, one of Flathead's eyes opened. Su Xiao, who was well versed in the meaning behind animal gazes, immediately understood what Flathead meant. It was probably saying, Idiot, I'm not letting go. What are you going to do about it?

Su Xiao thrust the fingers of his metal-armored hand toward Flathead's eye. Flathead hurriedly shut its eye and used its Exoskeleton to protect it.

Clang! Su Xiao's finger
